Chapter 6: Kill Kill Kill

The woman in high heels watched Jiang Jinyue flee without hesitation, and secretly let out a breath of relief.

The next second, the gentle smile on the woman’s face vanished completely, replaced by a ruthless glare.

Like a hunting leopardess, she sprang forward in pursuit. At the same time, she decisively pulled a heavy 80,000 mAh power bank from her backpack and smashed it toward Jiang Jinyue’s head.

However, Jiang Jinyue had already been prepared.

Her escape just now had only been a tactic to lure the enemy in.

Relying on the sound behind her, she dodged the attack, though her body swayed slightly from the sudden loss of balance.

Now!

The woman in high heels immediately caught up. The sharp heel in her hand stabbed viciously toward Jiang Jinyue’s carotid artery.

Her movements were fast and ruthless. There was not the slightest hesitation in her eyes. Clearly, this was not her first time killing someone.

But if she was ruthless, Jiang Jinyue was even more ruthless.

She had already prepared herself the moment she started running. Now, the instant the woman closed in, Jiang Jinyue used the momentum of her turn to grab the butcher knife from her backpack. Then, with a firm grip, she swung it upward from below.

“Pfft!”

Reflected in the blade’s gleam was the woman’s expression of disbelief.

The high heel in her hand dropped weakly. Her other hand clutched tightly at her neck, trying to stop the blood spraying out, her eyes filled with unwillingness.

Jiang Jinyue did not hesitate at all. Panting heavily, she quickly stepped forward and struck again.

She did not stop until she heard the system notification.

【Congratulations on killing the player from Dormitory 5381. It has been detected that you already have a bound dormitory. You may inherit one item from that dormitory. Would you like to inherit?】

Jiang Jinyue’s eyes lit up, and she immediately chose to inherit.

【The following are the items from the player of Dormitory 5381. Please choose one:

Catnip, Cilantro】

Jiang Jinyue blinked in surprise. There were actually two items?

She had thought that since the game had just begun, everyone would only have one item. Who would have guessed there were already hidden dragons and crouching tigers among them?

Jiang Jinyue decisively chose the catnip. Then she immediately bent down and quickly picked up the backpack that had dropped beside the woman’s corpse.

Unexpectedly, it was not a physical backpack like she had imagined, but rather an icon similar to game data.

Silently making note of this, she did not waste any time. She immediately ran out and stored away the treasure chest.

Only then did Jiang Jinyue have time to glance into the dorm room behind the door where the chest had appeared.

Aside from the same desk, cabinet, and bed as her own room, there was also a freshly dead male corpse and a large stalk of cilantro glowing with white light.

When she had searched the dorms earlier, she remembered that catnip was a purple item, while cilantro glowed white. Sure enough, she had chosen correctly.

She tentatively tried to collect the cilantro, but as expected, it did not work. Jiang Jinyue immediately gave up.

Then she turned her gaze to the corpse inside the room.

There was a large hole in the corpse’s head, but no other wounds on its body. It seemed he had been killed in one blow.

A trace of relief flashed through Jiang Jinyue’s heart as she thought about how cautious she had been just now. She also understood why that woman had possessed two items.

Her arms were starting to ache from overexertion. Her heart was pounding violently in her chest. The lingering smell of blood at the tip of her nose made her nauseous.

But at this moment, Jiang Jinyue had no time to rest. It was already six-thirty.

There was still half an hour left, and she still needed to pick up one more treasure chest. She had to hurry.

She wasted no more time. Taking a deep breath, she walked out of the dormitory and quickly rushed toward her own room.

It had taken her more than ten minutes to get here earlier. She had to get back as soon as possible.

By now, the battle for the treasure chests had already reached a fever pitch.

Jiang Jinyue did not put away the butcher knife again. Instead, she held it in her hand to intimidate the others.

Because of this, whenever someone saw her thin figure and considered approaching, the butcher knife would make them think twice.

Just like that, Jiang Jinyue safely made her way back to the corner where she had been at the beginning.

Just as she was about to leave quickly, an ordinary treasure chest suddenly refreshed beside her.

The next moment, the players who noticed it immediately swarmed forward.

How could Jiang Jinyue let such a gift delivered right to her door slip away?

Without hesitation, she stored the treasure chest in her backpack, then tightened her grip on the large knife and looked around vigilantly.

The crowd looked at the cold gleam of the blade and hesitated for a moment, unsure whether they should attack.

At that moment, the hedgehog-haired man from the beginning suddenly shouted,

“Everyone attack together! She’s just a young girl. She doesn’t look that old, probably still a student. Even if she’s holding a knife, she won’t dare kill anyone!”

His words clearly encouraged many of the people who had been itching to make a move.

Although Jiang Jinyue was covered in blood, the large knife in her hand was spotless.

They figured the young girl was probably just trying to scare people and had not actually dared to use it.

Just as the crowd began slowly surrounding her, Jiang Jinyue attacked first without hesitation.

She raised the knife and brought it down.

She slashed fiercely at the suited man closest to her.

Even though the suited man was drooling over the treasure chest, he still had the wariness he ought to have. He was just about to turn sideways and dodge the strike when his body suddenly froze. An indescribable fear surged into his heart.

The intimidation effect had triggered.

Although it lasted only one second…

“Pfft!”

The man’s waist and abdomen were nearly chopped apart by that one strike. He fell backward in disbelief.

Blood sprayed everywhere, splattering the people around him. Yet the large knife still gleamed coldly, not a single drop of blood clinging to it.

This merciless display was extremely effective. Everyone exchanged glances, then immediately scattered like frightened birds and beasts.

Please continue reading below...

Only the hedgehog-haired man remained, hesitating unwillingly.

“Pfft. Pfft. Pfft.”

Seeing this, Jiang Jinyue immediately stabbed the suited man several more times in quick succession, her ruthless eyes fixed on Hedgehog Hair.

At the sight, Hedgehog Hair trembled in fear, nearly wetting himself.

A flattering smile immediately appeared on his face. Then, without hesitation, he turned and left.

Forget it, forget it. If I stay any longer, I’ll lose my life.

After confirming that the suited man was completely dead, Jiang Jinyue still did not hear a system notification.

She sighed in disappointment. It seemed this was just a poor bastard who had not bound a dormitory.

Still, her three treasure chest slots were now full. It was better to return to the dormitory quickly.

However, just as she finished collecting the backpack the man had dropped and was about to leave, a deep male voice suddenly rang out.

“You child! Why are you so reckless? That was a human life!

It was just a treasure chest, and you killed him without a second thought. Can your conscience really be at ease?”

Jiang Jinyue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked up. She saw a middle-aged man in an administrative jacket staring at her with a disapproving expression.

Looking at the pained, judgmental way he was sizing her up, Jiang Jinyue’s fists hardened.

A middle-aged old geezer full of paternalistic nonsense, huh?

Heh.

“As a person, you need to have a bottom line! Even if we’ve ended up in this damned place, we can’t throw away our roots. Otherwise, once word gets out in the future, how will people— Ahhh! Are you insane?!”

The man in the administrative jacket nimbly turned and dodged Jiang Jinyue’s large knife. After cursing at her, he immediately turned and ran.

Retreat, retreat. This person looks like a young student, but she actually can’t be manipulated?

Then he would decisively move on to the next target.

The other players nearby, who had been eager to make a move, watched the administrative jacket man’s quickly disappearing back with a flash of regret in their eyes. Then they pretended nothing had happened and quickly dispersed.

Jiang Jinyue coldly glanced at his fleeing back. She did not continue the fight. With a swift movement, she quickly ran toward her dormitory.

For some reason, her luck today felt strangely abnormal.

Another treasure chest actually refreshed right by her feet on the way back.

However, Jiang Jinyue’s treasure chest quota was already full, and she understood that making another move now would easily make her the target of everyone present.

So she merely pretended to look at it reluctantly, while her footsteps did not slow in the slightest.

The other players behind her swarmed forward once again. This time, without an obvious weapon to intimidate them, none of them were willing to back down. They immediately broke into a chaotic fight.

The smell of blood in the corridor grew thicker and more choking.

Jiang Jinyue finally returned to the door of her dormitory.
